kdb+/q let's you call the server using really any language you would like: https://code.kx.com/q/interfaces/ https://code.kx.com/q/interfaces/ Though, I don't think there's really a problem with just doing I/O in q directly. The theoretical performance won't be as good, but since I/O is, well, I/O bound, it shouldn't really matter. And besides, I bet that even when doing non-array operations, q is faster than Python or Ruby.
